Designing the app

The app consists of three UI screens:

• Notes - Used to manage a list of notes.
• Note Detail - Used to read a note.
• Note compose - Used to create or edit note.

In this version of the app following basic Model-View-Presenter (MVP) architecture without using any architectural frameworks. Each screen is implemented using the following classes and interfaces:

• A contract class which defines the connection between the view and the presenter.
• A Activity which implements the view interface.
• A presenter which implements the presenter interface in the corresponding contract.

A presenter typically hosts business logic associated with a particular feature, and the corresponding view handles the Android UI work. The view contains almost no logic; it converts the presenter's commands to UI actions, and listens for user actions, which are then passed to the presenter.

Data Source

Room Persistence Library is used as local data source for the app.

The Room persistence library provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow fluent database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
